Two special prosecutors have issued a final report on the raid on the Marion County Record and plan to file charges against the former police chief. Officers raided the newspaper’s offices and the home of the publisher, Eric Meyer, on Aug. 11, 2023. They seized equipment and personal cell phones. Gideon Cody, who was police chief then, said he was investigating whether the newspaper committed identity theft or other crimes in accessing a local restaurant owner’s state driving record.

    It is terrible that the police chief broke into and raided the home of the publsher causing the 98 year old mother to subsequently die hours later. Seems like involuntary manslaughter charges should be filed against the former police chief as well.

    Is this Police Chief still there? He's unconstitutionally dangerous if not physically dangerous.

    What the heck? The police and the judge were seriously in the wrong, and that needs to be publically decreed along with serious sanctions. 🇺🇸💙💙💙🇺🇸

    Geez, Louise. A crooked cop killed a lady by storming her house taking her stuff refusing to leave. Is he in prison?

    We could use a lot more information about what lead up to the attack on the news room, and the lasting consequences.

    Freedom of the Press!!! Which Corporate Media fails to do. This is their job and purpose!
  • @Mitchpdx123
    When do they get sentenced and go to Jail? Isn’t there any law or court system in the town? Americans want to see prosecution of people just like this. Do your job and prosecute!
